This is for You who don't lurk on Facebook, shamelessly stolen Orginally posted on Facebook by Ade Matthew. Guy on right (bestman) Mr Gary Marx or more commonly known as Mark Pairman. https://ibb.co/gdyyyxY_________________Andrew Eldritch Dour Festival 1997: Yeah, We take any request... As much as we ever do.

Mark/Gary is the great forgotten sister - obviously Eldritch is Eldritch but without Marx what or who would he have become?

"nowadays everybody talks like they got something to say
but nothing comes out when they move their lips
just a bunch of gibberish
cuz evrybody acts like they forgot about Marx"

mine too. and when i heard the story of 1995 & nowhere -and subsequently corresponded with Mark about it- it really brought it home to me how much The Sisters meant to him. Unlike Wayne and Craig who's differences were more to do with the musical direction that Eldritch was taking the band i think Mark really would have stayed had Andrew not been so fucking difficult to work with. _________________"You count your blessings while they're there."

So, apart from Wayne Hussein, TSOM in (almost) original line-up could now take name Right Said Dead.

As for what-if: judging from 1995 & (...), knowing nothing about time when it was written or circumsatnes of such, based on just a snippets of songs, we could have FaLaA pt II, which isn't that bad at all, but musicians and bands I'm chering the most are one that are able to look for new fields, trying to redefine themselves, rather than one sticking to one type of music playing it on and on (upss, I'm on a forum of a band that playing well know setlist for decade with just small changes in order and new covers to fill it). Nonetheless, I would love to get to parelle universe where both of them come to conclussion are give it a try._________________This place is death with walls

Harking back to my 4am chat with Nick Jones after a Heartland doo back in 2003, he said that Gary was the Talent in the Band, no question. Sadly he and returned from one of the 1984 Tours and were no longer on speaking terms. The end of that incarnation of the Band was inevitable and it was only a matter of Time _________________"An 'orrible Kant!"

Maybe after that occasion, when Eldritch took a few days off in Mexico and left him back where they were with the other two ...
